So it’s like an award show but they’re also just doing comedy bits? Sounds fun I guess.
Malin Akerman presenting and wearing that jumpsuit already sounds iconic like… who even decides outfits for this? Also 9pm is kinda late for weeknights but I’ll try to DVR.
Wait doesn’t Bowen Yang host like everything now? I saw something about Peacock only so idk if Bravo is actually live too. Also “100 categories” feels like a typo, that’s way too many.
The article says it was filmed May 30 at The United Theater in LA which is cool… but isn’t that where a bunch of shows get canceled? lol. Either way I’m watching for Candiace and the Traitors people, because I don’t even watch award shows normally.
